The other thing Taylor says is that Gottlieb has a history of run-ins with Duke students and locking them up for nothing offenses - sometimes with dangerous criminals for cellmates.
Why am I not surprised?
That is sick. There is something wrong with that guy.
I'm not surprised, either, and that part of Taylor's piece stood out somewhat to me, too. I think Nifong has it in for Duke, too. Both of his parents went to Duke, but he went to UNC or some other lesser college.
So I think they've all got big chips on their shoulders about Duke - rich, white northern boys cavorting at Duke while they toil as public servants trained at mediocre institutions.
